Get in, Broady bowling great

Just thinking there about how the Australians have been the last 5 years or so, don't think I've ever seen Broad give anyone an aggressive send off, and he has 400 wickets

Moeen just isn’t good enough with the ball.

Goes through excellent spells on both. More so the batting

Leach did alright today, looks a genuine bowler who can hold an end, not many bad balls and turned a few

Root didn't help him like, people on here gave Cook stick, but Root keeps changing field constantly for Leach, he gave him nothing to bowl at.

So basically what Baylis said he needed when he picked Ansari, Batty and Dawson ahead of him :rolleyes:

Funny that picking a frontline spinner doing well in county cricket.

Root doesn’t have a clue as captain from what I’ve seen so far. Granted I’ve not watched either of these NZ tests bar highlights.

I know, shocking aint it

Yeah I've not been impressed personally, although limited by his attack at times, I thought Cook looked in control more of what he was doing. He faded at the end but I thought he was a decent captain who could never shake this defensive tag

Its just a myth, I watch all teams play and some of the fields Kohli and Smith had when they were on tap were so defensive, they all are.
 
36/5 and we allow them to recover to a semi-respectable score. Even when things are going well we contrive to run out of ideas under Bayliss.

It's almost as if the pitch is a road after the new ball.

TMS is so enjoyable without Vaughan and Boycott moaning on

I was just thinking that myself. When Swann just concentrates on the cricket and not trying to be to clever he shows he has a brilliant knowledge of the game. Vic Marks is terrific especially when he is on with Aggers and Simon Mann is the best broadcaster for asking the experts questions that us punters would ask them during a commentary.

Vic Marks is my fav, I find Aggers slightly sanctimonious when he talks about cricket, but love his general chat, love Simon Mann

I agree with Swann, gets load of stick on here, and when he jokes he is not remotely funny and very annoying, but he knows his cricket more than most I hear, he should be involved in the game IMO
